Rule #347
Rule #347: Even though it’s summertime and you don’t have to go anywhere, please do not beg for a snow cone at 9 am when I have to leave for work. Furthermore, don’t pout and be ugly when I say no. My paycheck is what pays for your snow cones!
Thanks, Maggie C.!

Rule #346
Rule #346: Please do not pee in the shower at the Y. And if you do, please do not announce it to the crabby old ladies there.
Thankfully, this was not my child. I just overheard this conversation between a 4 year old and her horrified mom.
Rule #345
Rule #345: You have peed on your towel. You may not lie down and cuddle with it.
Thanks, Meaghann B.!

Rule #342
Rule #342: Please do not drink from that sippy cup you found in our playset. In June. In 90 degree F temps. Especially when Mommy is screaming, “DON’T DRINK THAT! DON’T DRINK THAT!” But I guess that’s what they call “natural consequences.”

Rule #341
Rule #341: No arguing over whether your brother is hungry or not. If he says he is hungry, you can just believe him rather than screaming at him to attempt to convince him otherwise.

Rule #340
Rule #340: Do not blame the lunch tray for throwing away your retainer. If you can keep track of your iPod and your cell phone, you can also keep track of your retainer.
Thanks, Michele B.!

Rule #339
Rule #339: When you bit the purple crayon and it didn’t taste like grape, you could have stopped then. You really didn’t have to go on to see what the yellow, orange, red, and blue tasted like.
Thanks, Michelle C.!
